User:Векочел/List of Roman emperors
The Roman emperors were rulers of the Roman Empire, wielding power over its citizens and military, dating from the granting of the title of Augustus to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus by the Roman Senate in 27 BC. Augustus maintained a façade of republican rule, rejecting monarchical titles but calling himself princeps senatus (first man of the senate)[1] and princeps civitatis (first citizen of the state). The title of Augustus was conferred on his successors to the imperial position. The style of government instituted by Augustus is called the Principate and continued until reforms by Diocletian. The modern word 'emperor' derives from the title imperator, which was granted by an army to a successful general; during the initial phase of the empire, it still had to be earned by the princeps.
The territory under command of the emperor had developed under the period of the Roman Republic as it invaded and occupied most of Europe and portions of northern Africa and western Asia. Under the republic, regions of the empire were ruled by provincial governors answerable to and authorised by the Senate and People of Rome. During the republic, the chief magistrates of Rome were two consuls elected each year; consuls continued to be elected in the imperial period, but their authority was subservient to that of the emperor, and the election was controlled by the emperor.
In the late 3rd century, after the Crisis of the Third Century, Diocletian formalised and embellished the recent manner of imperial rule, establishing the so-called Dominate period of the Roman Empire. This was characterised by the explicit increase of authority in the person of the Emperor, and the use of the style Dominus Noster ("Our Lord"). The rise of powerful Barbarian tribes along the borders of the empire and the challenge they posed to defense of far-flung borders and unstable imperial succession led Diocletian to divide the administration geographically of the Empire in 286 with a co-Augustus. In 330, Constantine the Great established a second capital in Byzantium, which he renamed Constantinople. For most of the period from 286 to 480, there was more than one recognised senior emperor, with the division usually based in geographic terms. This division was consistently in place after the death of Theodosius I in 395, which historians have dated as the division between the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire.[2] However, formally the Empire remained a single polity, with separate co-emperors in the separate courts. The fall of the Western Roman Empire, and so the end of a separate list of emperors below, is dated either from the de facto date of 476 when Romulus Augustulus was deposed by Odoacer who became King of Italy, or the de jure date of 480, on the death of Julius Nepos, when Eastern Emperor Zeno ended recognition of a separate Western court. In the period that followed, the Empire is usually treated by historians as the Byzantine Empire governed by the Byzantine Emperors, although this designation is not used universally, and continues to be a subject of specialist debate today.[3]
The line of emperors continued until the death of Constantine XI Palaiologos during the fall of Constantinople in 1453, when the remaining territories were captured by the Ottoman Empire.[4]
Legitimacy
[edit]The emperors listed in this article are those generally agreed to have been "legitimate" emperors, and who appear in published regnal lists.[5][6][7] The word "legitimate" is used by most authors, but usually without clear definition, perhaps not surprisingly, since the emperorship was itself rather vaguely defined legally. In Augustus' original formulation, the princeps was selected by either the Senate or "the people" of Rome, but quite quickly the legions became an acknowledged stand-in for "the people." A person could be proclaimed as emperor by their troops or by "the mob" in the street, but in theory needed to be confirmed by the Senate. The coercion that frequently resulted was implied in this formulation. Furthermore, a sitting emperor was empowered to name a successor and take him on as apprentice in government and in that case the Senate had no role to play, although it sometimes did when a successor lacked the power to inhibit bids by rival claimants. By the medieval (or Byzantine) period, the very definition of the Senate became vague as well, adding to the complication.[8]

[edit]- ^ This numbering of the emperors is not official.
- ^ Roman victory titles are not included in this listing unless invariably part of the emperor's regnal name.
- ^ Unless noted, all dates are in AD.
- ^ Also referred to on coins as:
- C(aius) Caesar Divi Avg(vstvs)[17]
- ^ Vitellius did not enter Rome until June or July 69.[30]
- ^ Vespasian was proclaimed emperor by his soldiers on 1 July 69, but was not proclaimed as such by the Senate until 21 December of that year.[33]
- ^ Italics indicate a continuation of reign.
- ^ The other claimants for the throne in the Year of the Five Emperors were Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus, supported by the Syrian and British legions respectively. Severus defeated Niger in 194, and Albinus in 197.[53]
- ^ Severus was proclaimed emperor by his troops on 13 April 193 and by the Senate in July of that year.[53]
- ^ a b c d Some historians date the reigns of emperors who reigned in 238 to roughly two months after the dates given in the table. So according to these historians, Gordian I and II reigned from 22 March to 12 April 238, Maximinus Thrax was assassinated on 24 June that year, Pupienus and Balbinus reigned from 22 April to 29 July of that year, and Gordian III was proclaimed emperor upon the assassinations of Pupienus and Balbinus on 29 July 238.[72]
- ^ The birth date of Balbinus is uncertain. According to Zonaras, he took the throne at the age of 60; this age gives Balbinus a birth date of 178.[76]
